Advisory Committee (Committee) was 

established pursuant to the Energy 

Independence and Security Act (EISA) 

of 2007 as amended by Pub. L. 116–260, 

and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 10. The 

Committee is established to advise the 

Secretary of Energy (Secretary) with 

respect to the Industrial Emissions 

Reductions Technology Development 

Program (the program) by identifying 

and evaluating any technologies being 

developed by the private sector relating 

to the focus areas described in section 

454(c) of the EISA; identifying 

technology gaps in the private sector or 

other Federal agencies in those focus 

areas, and making recommendations on 

how to address those gaps; surveying 

and analyzing factors that prevent the 

adoption of emissions reduction 

technologies by the private sector; and 

recommending technology screening 

criteria for technology developed under 

the program to encourage adoption of 

the technology by the private sector. 

Purpose of Meeting: ITIAC will hold 

this meeting to continue its work toward 

developing a strategic plan on how to 

achieve the goals of the Industrial 

Emissions Reductions Technology 

Development Program, consistent with 

the purposes of the program described 

in section 454(b)(1) of the EISA, and 

progress towards the first Committee 

report. The Committee will discuss and 

vote on a slate of recommendations for 

the Secretary of Energy.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Intent Regarding Launching 

a Carbon Transport Research, 

Development and Demonstration 

Consortium 

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy and 

Carbon Management, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy 

and Carbon Management (FECM), 

Department of Energy (DOE), is issuing 

this NOI to notify interested parties of 

its intent to launch a ‘‘Carbon Transport 

Research, Development and 

Demonstration (RD&D) Consortium (the 

Consortium)’’ to identify and coordinate 

carbon transport RD&D efforts (e.g., 

pipeline, rail, truck, ship, and barge 

transportation); facilitate 

communication among stakeholders; 

and compile and curate information in 

an open access platform. The DOE 

initially sought input from stakeholders 

through a Request for Information DE– 

FOA–0003330 (RFI 3330) 

(www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/ 

default.aspx?ReturnUrl=

%2ffedconnect%2f%3fdoc%3dDEFOA-0003330%26

agency%3dDOE&doc=DE-FOA0003330&agency=DOE) issued on 

September 18, 2024. Through this NOI, 

the DOE is establishing a second 

opportunity to obtain information that 

could be used to inform DOE’s decisions 

on the initiation of the Consortium and 

to gauge interest in participating in the 

Consortium. FECM intends to launch 

the Consortium after reviewing 

responses to RFI 3330 and this NOI. 

Parties that express interest in joining 

the Consortium, either through this NOI 

or through RFI 3330, will be contacted 

via email with instructions on how to 

officially register to join. 

DATES: Written comments, and 

information are requested by January 21, 

2025. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may 

submit comments electronically to 

FOA3330@netl.doe.gov and include 

‘‘DOE Carbon Transport Consortium’’ in 

the subject line of the email. Only 

electronic responses will be accepted. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions may be addressed to Robert 

Smith, at 202–597–4058 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Drivers for a Carbon Transport RD&D 

Consortium 

In line with the goal of broad 

stakeholder engagement and its 2022 

Strategic Vision,1 DOE FECM hosted the 

Workshop for Applied Research in 

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Transport 2 in 

Dublin, Ohio, from February 21–22, 

2023 (the Workshop). Approximately 

100 individuals from Federal agencies, 

industry, academia, nongovernmental 

organizations, national laboratories, and 

other stakeholder groups participated in 

the Workshop to share individual 

perspectives and provide input about 

the following objectives: 

• Identify near-term challenges and 

RD&D areas of interest; 

• Identify lab- and pilot-scale 

research activities of interest; 

• Identify potential participants in 

ongoing and future RD&D efforts; and 

• Identify whether a carbon transport 

research consortium would advance 

carbon capture, utilization, and storage 

deployment, and could address 

potential barriers to future success. 

The key result of the Workshop was 

the identification of four broad topics of 

interest (TOIs) for fundamental and 

applied RD&D in CO2 transport: 

(a) Impact of CO2 impurities on asset 

integrity; 

(b) CO2-specific leak detection and 

emergency response protocols; 

(c) Repurposing of existing 

infrastructure for CO2 service; and 

(d) Developing and connecting with 

other modes of CO2 transport/ 

intermodal hubs. 

The Workshop participants also 

encouraged FECM to consider 

developing a carbon transport RD&D 

consortium (‘‘the Consortium’’) to 

facilitate information sharing that could 

result in coordinated RD&D efforts on 

the TOIs among stakeholders. 

II. Consortium Participants 

The Consortium is intended to consist 

of a group of domestic (U.S.) based or 

incorporated individuals or 

organizations that are working together 

to achieve a common objective. It would 

be structured around committees that 

would share information about relevant 

ongoing RD&D activities, conduct gap 

analyses, and promote synergies which 

could lead to research project formation
